Interstellar Journey after Rebirth
Chapter 131: Tea Making Begins
Although He is not optimistic, as long as the little master is happy, why should He care about the result?
Besides, isn't it better to have the little master accompany me than to be alone? I am not the kind of person who likes to be alone. Normally, there is no other way. But when the little master is here, why should I be alone?
Of course, I want to be with my little master.
"Then remember to call me when you can start frying tea." Chen Si said, and then decided to take care of her vegetable garden first. This was her habit every time she entered the exquisite space, and it was also her way of upgrading this small world.
Only if she works hard and grows more food can the space be upgraded faster, so Chen Si did not slack off.
"Okay, young master, go and get busy first." Linglong nodded in agreement. She knew that the young master attached great importance to this vegetable garden. These were the vegetables she planted personally to upgrade the space.
Linglong herself was unable to get involved in the vegetable field and could only guard it silently.
If He helps, the upgrade progress of the space will be slowed down, which will not be worth the cost.
Chen Si began to get busy, harvesting mature vegetables, planting new crops, and checking the growth of medicinal herbs. She carefully took care of the land and reaped the fruits of her labor.
Although she was not out of the space for long this time, the ripe vegetables were enough to keep her busy for a while.
After collecting the medicinal herbs, she replanted new crops to ensure that the land always remained alive and vibrant.
After finishing the farm work, Chen Si chose to go to the study to study and continue to immerse himself in the sea of books.
There are still many books in my study that I haven't read yet. After several years, I haven't even finished one tenth of the books. I am really speechless. Why are there so many books and I can't finish reading them?
But then he thought, this is all knowledge, if he learns it in his own brain, then it will all be his in the end. He can only suffer a little now and enjoy happiness in the future. Chen Si comforted himself silently in his heart and decided to study hard.
After two days of reading, it was finally time to make tea. After receiving Linglong's notification, Chen Si ran to the kitchen with joy.
Since there is no special space for making tea, the stir-frying process is carried out in the kitchen.
Keep everything simple. Chen Si had seen TV dramas and movies on the Blue Water Planet where tea frying was originally done on the stove in a large iron pot, so this wasn't too different.
She cleaned the large iron pot carefully, making sure it was free of oil, salt and moisture.
The leaves are then stir-fried over low heat. Because the newest leaves are picked, they need to be deeply withered until the leaves turn from bright green to deep dark green, without red stems or red leaves. The leaves are soft and slightly sticky, and are elastic when squeezed into a ball. The smell of grass dissipates, and the aroma of tea begins to emerge. At this point, the desired effect has been achieved, and the tea frying is complete.
The next step is rolling and twisting. Chen Si chose the hot rolling method to reduce the volume of the tea leaves, paving the way for the subsequent frying and shaping.
Then comes the sorting stage. She carefully selects the best quality tea leaves, and goes through the steps of rolling and drying again, and finally frying them.
The step of frying and drying can reduce the moisture content of the tea to about 5%, thereby achieving the effect of natural preservation and extending its shelf life.
After this series of tedious operations, even with Linglong's assistance, Chen Si was still sweating profusely.
But when he saw the finished product he made with his own hands, Chen Si's heart was filled with satisfaction and joy.
"Young master, you are amazing. You completed the tea-making process by yourself. If you can control the temperature and duration of tea frying more accurately next time, the tea fragrance will definitely be even better. And when rolling and twisting the tea, perhaps you can try to increase the strength to achieve a better dehydration effect." Linglong first praised Chen Si's hard work, and then pointed out several areas for improvement.
Praise is praise, but shortcomings should still be pointed out. After all, they were not done well in the first place, so we should accept opinions with an open mind.
Chen Si was originally very happy, but after hearing so many areas that needed improvement, he couldn't help but sigh that it turns out that doing anything is really not easy.
Just by frying a little bit of tea leaves, she felt sore and weak all over.
Thinking back to the tea I drank on the Blue Water Planet, although it was most likely made by machines, but in the early days when everything relied on manpower, how much work did those tea-making masters have to do in a day, and how did they do it?
"Let's talk about it next time. I'm really too tired to move now." Chen Si lay on the ground, not wanting to move even a finger.
I didn't even have the mood to taste the tea I just made. I really didn't want to move.
Let’s wait until he has had a good rest. I don’t want to think about it now.
"Okay, you go and rest first." Linglong waved her hand gently and sent Chen Si to the bedroom, then she returned to the kitchen.
Linglong found a clean jar and stored the green tea made by Chen Si separately.
Then she boiled a pot of hot water and made a cup of green tea that Chen Si had just made for him.
Because children are not suitable for drinking tea, Linglong only took two tea leaves and brewed them in a small cup, hoping that Chen Si could taste it.
There is no more. Drinking too much will make you unable to sleep.
"Young master, come and taste the tea you made yourself." Linglong flew into the bedroom holding the teacup.
When Chen Si saw Linglong coming in with a teacup, he immediately sat up and took the teacup from Linglong.
Xiao Linglong was so nice that she made me a cup of tea. I had been planning to make some tea when I wasn't so tired, but now there was some ready-made tea delivered to me.
"Thank you, Linglong, you are so thoughtful." Chen Si praised Linglong, saying that she was such a thoughtful and good baby.
Chen Si took the teacup, put it under his nose and smelled the tea. The faint fragrance was not strong, but as light as morning mist, mixed with a faint scent of osmanthus.
The scent of osmanthus mixed with the fragrance of tea made Chen Si feel as if he had returned to the time when he went out for a picnic on the Blue Water Planet. The fresh smell of nature, no pollution, everything was so beautiful.
Observing the tea soup again, its color is clear and bright, and the light green is like spring dewdrops.
The tea leaves expand in the tea soup, forming a beautiful picture that people are reluctant to break.
She took a sip and felt the fresh taste of the tea, as if she could taste the most original flavor of the tea, giving people a feeling of vitality.
When the tip of your tongue touches the tea soup, a sweet taste emerges instantly, with a mellow taste and a long aftertaste.
Chen Si felt that this tasted much better than the tea he bought from the supermarket on the Blue Water Star.
Of course, this may also be the effect of space water. Although space water does not have any particularly special effects, it is definitely better than ordinary water.
